About John Madison Livingood

Love at First Sight Frances Cook was born in Greene County, Pennsylvania, in 1887, but moved as a young woman with her family to Columbiana, Ohio. Ties to Greene County remained strong. Frances returned often to visit friends and relatives. On one such occasion Frances sang with her hostess in the church choir. When John Madison Livingood caught sight of the musical guest, he turned to a friend and said, “I’m going to marry that girl.” ( Listen)

They married 4 March 1914 in Columbiana, Ohio, then returned to Greene County to raise a beautiful family.

Warren Milliken / male / white / Father: John Livingood / Mother: Myrtle Milliken / Residence: Center Twp. / Father's occupation: clerk / Date of Birth: December 22, 1905 / Place of birth: Center Twp.

Though the first name is noted as "Warren" this is clearly the birth record of Lorraine Milliken. The first name is not common and was likely just heard incorrectly by the record taker at the courthouse. His last name remained Milliken because his parents never wed. The birth date is off slightly, Lorraine was born December 21, but December 22 may have been the day the birth was actually recorded.
